Centro Storico's golden-hued streets reveal Palermo's fascinating multicultural past at every turn.

This historic Palermo area lets you step back in time with ancient churches like Santa Maria della Gancia hiding behind weathered baroque facades. Traditional puppet theatres showcase Sicilian marionette artistry in atmospheric spaces that transport you straight into local culture. Walking is your best bet through the honey-colored limestone buildings and cobblestone streets too narrow for cars. Small family-run guesthouses and converted palazzos offer authentic stays with local charm. Traditional trattorias and street food stalls serve up pasta con sarde and arancini that won't break the bank.

First off, the location is great! This is a really nice area of Palermo, with loads of designer shops around, as well as nice bars and restaurants.
